Has leaving him worked out well for anyone else yet? I don't think it has.

Sometimes change is good. Adam have grown up around professional athletes and with programs and training that comes with it. I'm sure he's fully capable of making his own decisions. He have seemed a bit like a lone wolf lately though. Sure hope he keeps good people around him.

I hope so too. For your avatars sake. The kid needs to start racking up some wins.

i think he needed it to be honest, hes been with him his whole career as a pro so far, and hes fast and everything, but he cant finish any of the seasons he has started, i think this change will be good.

Speaking of which, I need a new one with a number 44 on it. Wins will come. Shoulders are good and the speed is there. Just need some track time.

If Adam starts entering freestyle events I'm going to get nervous.

Maybe Baker has finally priced himself too high. Maybe AC learned what he needed to learn from him and maybe wants to freshen things up a bit. It does seem like weird timing right before the season is starting. Something probably happened between them i'm guessing.

Adam left the Baker's factory? It's about time!

It's time to get back to enjoying to racel. I'm talking about 80's SX or better yet, the McGrath era.

I'm tired of this RC era of trainers and groups of blood suckers tagging on for the ride. Let's get back to a day when racers enjoyed racing. What do I mean? I mean this. Is there one rider within the top 40 that would ride on an off weekend, just because they thought it might be fun? Of course not. Over Training ruined the sport.

Even at the top level, moto should be fun. RC quit at 26. RV cut out early too.

It's the Baker factory that's ruining the sport.

P.S. If someone says you have to be fit to win, does that mean our racers will be couch potatoes? Probably not.

Definitely not something I saw coming, but I can't say I blame him. He's been with Aldon a long time now and he hasn't really had a great to start to his career. Not saying that it's Aldon's fault, but can completely understand why he would want to try something new. He doesn't need to be with Aldon to be successful, he just needs to stay healthy. Hopefully 2016 goes well for him

Hmmmmm.

Lots of people have won with and without Aldon.

AC needs to not crash more than he needs to be the fittest guy in the class.

It worked out real well for RC, now he gets to eat what he wants, drink what he wants and spend all day on a boat.

This!
To me it's potentially bigger news than AC leaving.

This is probably the biggest factor. Adam wasn't exactly raking in huge win and championship bonuses being hurt and Aldon doesn't come cheap. A lot of contracts dock some pay for a certain amount of races missed also. After training with him since being on 85s, he has probably learned enough to not feel "lost" without him. It's probaby not ideal for his results, but spending 6 figures while being hurt would not be enjoyable either.
